Today is Purple Heart Day in the United States of America. It’s an unofficial holiday which, in my opinion, ought to be an official holiday. Take time today to honor the brave who earned the Purple Heart in service to our country.

Recently Donald Trump sat for an interview with reporters from the New York Times. The entire interview is well worth reading, for those who are not yet familiar with Trump’s foreign policy positions. It’s recommended that you read the transcript rather than the interpretation of “journalists”.

What’s especially notable is Trump’s insistence upon putting THIS COUNTRY first. It’s about time that we had a candidate for the presidency who loves his country above all others and wants what’s best for the United States before considering what’s good for other nations.

I couldn’t and wouldn’t watch Barack Obama’s town hall about his recent executive actions concerning guns. (Note: They are actions, not executive orders. To date, there’s no officially published executive ORDER on this topic at the White House website.)

In the course of the town hall, did anyone mention the Obama policy to encourage the Social Security Administration to rat out beneficiaries who have others handling their financial affairs, for any reason? I’ll bet not.

After the public patiently waited and wondered for nearly four days, the five “international soldiers” who were swept off a Missouri road by flood waters last Saturday have been identified. This morning, a newspaper reported that the last victim’s body was found, 6 miles from the flooded roadway.

It seems apparent that we may never learn the whole truth about the recent murders in Oregon. The official narrative seems to be that the shooter, Christopher Mercer (aka Chris Harper-Mercer), was a mentally ill loser who somehow gathered a “legal” arsenal, carried a rifle and 5 handguns into Umpqua Community College without being seen or stopped, and systematically, within 10 minutes, murdered 9 fellow students–shooting one man 5 times (or 7 times) and one woman 10 times–and wounding 9. As usual, various scenarios are offered.
